Thanks to Georgia F. for sharing this little gem from over on Pop Crunch.

UPDATE: Geez, you guys are demanding! Ok, fyi: no, this is NOT the only post you get today. I did a guest-blog for another site which I agreed to link to for today's post, but they haven't published the post yet. So, I wait. And get complaints from you knuckleheads. So chill, my adorable little Wreck addicts - your daily fix is coming.

Seriously, the whole fetishization of cupcakes needs to stop. Who really needs to spend $20+ on one little concoction some Hollywood starlet claimed was her "favorite," anyway? Besides, some poor decorator probably needed those to cram together in an unattractive CCC...

Word verification: proutd. Def.: how the WW demonstrator's sponsoring group and family did NOT feel after reading this story...

I've been enjoying your blog for several weeks now - thanks for all the much-needed laughs.

I found another fun site for you: Bake for a Change (http://bakeforachange.com/). The blog is challenging people to build gingerbread houses that are designed like sustainable homes. It's pretty cool, actually, though the cakes definitely look homemade.

::steps up to the box:: I have recently started going to Cake Wreck Anonymous Meetings.

12 STEPS

1. We admitted we were powerless over cake wrecks, that our lives had become unmanageable if we do not get our daily dose of your site.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity, especially when you show us what the cake should look like and what the wreckers end up with.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Cake Wrecks.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and found that it really doesn't hurt to laugh, hehehe.

5. Admitted to Cake Wrecks, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our addiction to Cake Wrecks.

6. Were entirely ready to have Cake Wrecks remove all these defects of all these amazingly messed up cakes.

7. Humbly asked Cake Wrecks to remove the cupcake shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all cakes that had been harmed, and become willing to make amends to those that did it right.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Some cakes just need to be laughed at!

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it, by admitting, not all cupcake wreck are that bad.

11. Sought through laughter, gritting teeth and that urge to puke on some of those really bad wrecks, to improve our conscious contact with Cake Wrecks as we understood your goals through the oohhhs, aahhhhs & OMG! Hoping only for knowledge of your will for us to laugh, enjoy and to empower us with the ability to share those cake wreck mistakes!

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to all Cake Wreck Addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Pssh! It figures most of the people griping were too chicken to even enter a name. Ingrates. I think this is a great post even if it isn't edible. It's still cake related and totally hilarious. There are people who appreciate you for what you do. :)

wow how desperate can you get. It reminds me of something out of a Janet Evanovich novel you know the ones with Stephanie Plum. I could see this lady being someone that skips out on her bail and Steph having to go get her. lol Anyone else think the same thing?

WTF? PEOPLE GROW UP IT IS SO STUPID> AND MY NAME IS AMANDA BARTLEY FROM ALASKA. :`D I ADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORe this site sssssssssssssssssssssssssso much! :~D http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh10/runfast800/cake.jpg

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Ordering Info

Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
